RZ looking at your video background, does it work with YouTube and what if I do not want a full page video but a full width does it work. Also text on the video can this be done?

Re: [rz] Background Video *** UPD 2016-Mar-30 ***

the extension can work even depending on its container settings
so you can drag and drop it within a fullwidth layer if you want
about the youtube part, it is not supported within this one (it is currently a different extension)
in the next version extended support for youtube will be added (and most probably the other extension will be replaced)

Hi. Does this allow video to auto play on ios mobiles and ipad yet?

Re: [rz] Background Video *** UPD 2018-May-11 ***

usually full size background videos are not allowed to play automatically, mainly on mobiles
browsers are becoming stricter with this policy, chrome did it first on desktop versions

I know there has been restrictions in the past but still there are websites out there with it working.
see this thread

the restrictions are not related to the past but to the actual time and may become stricter than currently are as it seems a new policies trend
on some cases some videos may be played when produced without sound, but this does not apply to all mobiles (i.e. android and/or ios versions and some desktop versions like chrome and similar chromium based browsers)

Yes in this case I want to play video without sound.
So I’m looking for a way of doing this - and I thought you might be implementing it in your plugin

Re: [rz] Background Video *** UPD 2018-May-11 ***

Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 10:34 am
by [RZ]
i disabled the auto play on mobiles due to the many issues across platforms, browsers and versions (and still count)
chrome recently added this new restriction policy
i did not find enough congruent information for mobiles yet, whenever i find a solid way to implement more workarounds, obviously i will do immediately; as you can see, the extension has been updated for the recently changes...

does this option overcome the issue of autoplay in chrome?

Re: [rz] Background Video *** UPD 2018-Jun-02 ***

Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2018 10:41 pm
by [RZ]
the video is always played, if sound cannot be started due to stricter policies of the browser, the video is automatically muted and starts anyway -- then you can manually click on the button to activate the sound
this applies to i.e. chrome, however, mobiles are even stricter, so a custom static image will be shown instead

Hello rz

Do you have a parallax video app with text overlay for WYSIWYG web builder.

If not, do you have any plans to create one or add this feature to your current app?


Here is an example: https://www.mainstagelive.com/
